The Raspberry Pi boots from an SD card which needs to have the Pi In The Sky software installed on it, and set to automatically start tracking when it's powered on. For this you will need a 4GB card or larger. We strongly recommend use of an 8GB or larger card so there's plenty of space for photographs.

Please follow the instructions at the following link to set up the SD card.

The current (PITS+) board works with the model A+, B+ or V2 B Raspberry Pi. We recommend the use of a B+ for development and an A+ for the flight. The extra processing power of the V2 Pi is not required for this application.

The Pi B V3 is tested with RTTY only at this time. LoRa and APRS will be tested soon.

The original PITS board works with the model A or B Raspberry Pi. We recommend the use of a B for development, and an A for the flight itself.
